SPQ13: Week of May 6. Containers, hydraulics test board and wheel seals

This past week I got to learn about how to use and learn from the hydraulic test bench. I learned about the basics including aeration, cavitation and restriction to say the least. I have learned about how to construct a working hydraulic circuit which included a valve, a cylinder, a pump, a tank and a pressure relief valve for safety. It was great to see it all come together. I got the opportunity to operate a 14,000 capacity forklift. My task was to move four shipping containers to get to two empty containers. Really cool to easily move around so much weight.
